The work was published by Gallerie Louise Leiris, Paris and printed by the Crommelynck brothers in France.

The 347 Series was, in printmaking, the undertaking which defined late Picasso. This prodigious outpouring of work, dating from March 16thOctober 5th, 1968, deals with all of his old themes and fantasies, adding an obsession newly central in the late 60s, the artist as voyeur. It is in this role, rather than that of a protagonist, that the artist figures in these fantastic narrations.
In order to be able to work with full freedom and concentration, Picasso had his printers, the brothers Crommelynck, bring the etching plates and hand press to his farmhouse near Cannes.
